My Beauty Philosophy

I wanted to do this a while ago soon after I started this blog, but got carried away talking about other stuff. It is important to let my readers know what my guiding principles are for purchasing and using skin care and makeup products.

Cherish what you are given, and really take care of it.

Each one of us is so special:we have different face structures, skin tones, and hair colors… We are meant to be however God/nature intended us to be, and we should embrace completely who we really are. Therefore it is our responsibility to treat what we have well by eating right and living healthily.

Be natural, and then enhance the feature you are proud of.

I am not an expert in dramatic makeup applications. I apply makeup differently according to occasions, but I strive to look natural and elegant rather than dramatic and theatrical. I am sure there is always some features on your face that you are proud of: maybe it’s your smooth skin, or arched eye brows, or full lips…Whatever it may be, enhance the feature you are proud of by using makeup.

Dare to be different and always wear a smile

I never liked the concept of “blending in”. I know a lot of people around me who feel comfortable dress and look just like the majority, because it feels safe to them. But you will never stand out this way. You want to be remembered as the one with the best skin; or the one with the dreamiest eyes. Besides all the skin care and makeup products you use, the key ingredient you need to achieve a great impression is a confident smile. Always wear a smile, it works ten times better than the best beauty products in the world.

There is no need to be brand loyal. Always do research and experiment before you purchase a product.

I don’t know if you are already aware of this: almost all the beauty products you see in the market come from only seven global corporations (Estee Lauder, L’Oreal, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Beiersdorf, Unilever, and Louis Vuitton-Moet Hennessy) Don’t be so gullible when you encounter a new miracle beauty product, think what you really need, review what you already have, and do thorough researches online/offline before you decide to buy a product. I use both drug store and department store brands, and a lot of times drug store brands work even better than their expensive, fancy-packaged counterparts. Find what suits you, and once you know, don’t hesitate to invest.

I hope this post helps to just inspire you a little, or at least shed some light on why I am diligently updating my blog everyday with beauty tips and product reviews. Stay beautiful!
